Low-Tech Spacefaring Civilizations (Narration Only)

Could some alien worlds allow space travel to develop far sooner and easier than it did on Earth? Or could civilizations abandon more advanced technology?

Recently the Military released Navy footage of 3 separate UFO or UAP - unidentified aerial phenomena - we will review that footage and consider both mundane explanations and the not-so-mundane, like secret projects, extraterrestrial origins, and what it might indicate about the technology and motivations of such alien civilizations if they are visitors from out in the galaxy.

It's been over half a century since we first went to the Moon, and nearly as long since we last went.

The Fermi Paradox: The Phosphorus Problem (Narration Only)

The genesis and origin of life may require a very rare and delicate mixture of certain chemicals. One of those is phosphorus, and trying to figure out how we ever got enough of it in Earth's primordial soup for life to form in the first place has long puzzled scientists. We will also discuss the recent discovery of Phosphine Gas in Venus's Atmosphere Start listening with a 30-day Audible trial and your first audiobook is free.
